Tips For Selecting Good Sprinkler Design

By Jason Bell


You may be having a lawn you want to water, and you are wondering what type of system to use for the task. You may be challenged by what choices to make in picking a suitable watering system. The discussion in the following few paragraphs will be giving you insights towards accomplishing that mission. Here are tips for selecting good sprinkler design for your lawn. The points highlighted will give a good guide.

Normally you will start by asking yourself which is the right capacity for my needs. Remember that the designs developed are of various capacities and each would serve a given purpose. The irrigation systems for large fields are quite complex and costly. They operate at high pressure than their counterparts used to water small pieces of land such as your home lawn. Your needs will direct to the right choice of equipment.

Water supply becomes the next thing to look at. You cannot set an irrigation system where there is no reliable water supply. It will be a waste of resources since the system will be underutilized. Likewise, if the water supply is limited, then it would be uneconomical to set a complex system that will not be able to be served with enough water for proper spray. The amount and pressure of water are important.

The complexity of installation is of concern for prior preparations. The general idea is to ensure that you can source the necessary help in case you happen to have a simple system. Some may not need an expert while others will be best handled by a professional. Such cases could be underground setting and complex system setting that would even involve automation.

The soil type matters too. You should beware of the types of soils in your lawn so that you can at least make an informed choice to bring forth an irrigation system that will not promote environmental degradation through soil erosion. Some soils are light and would require little pressure sprayers. Spray sprinklers may work well for light soils. Depending on the type of soils determine the best option.

You also need to think about the budget. You have to allocate funds appropriately. This will mean that you put aside funds for the actual purchase, installation fees and any other associated costs that may come up with the new installation. Some of the automated systems may be quite expensive to install but fair in maintenance.

The next step will be choosing a suitable installer to help you with the setting up. This is mainly for those systems that are complex and require quite a good deal of technical support. In this regard, you will have to seek recommendations from friends, family or neighbors on the suitable installer.

The last step will be examining the warranties of the given system and its suitability for your needs. Investigate that all the necessary safety measures have been observed and your contract with the dealer is binding. This means it must be a written contact dictating terms of warranties and related equipment information.
